Toxic people accelerate aging and should be avoided to promote healthier aging.B. The biological aging process is determined by a person’s social network.C. Marriage can offer total protection against the negative effects of toxic people.D. Women are more likely than men to have toxic people in their social network.Part II. TRANSCRIPTHow Toxic People Make Us Age FasterHow bad are toxic people for physical health?Supportive and positive social relationships with friends and family members can have many positive effects on health and mental well-being. In contrast, toxic friends or family members that are overly hostile, permanently passive-aggressive, or purposefully difficult can become huge stressors. Chronic stress has all sorts of negative effects on both mental and physical health. For example, stress research has shown that chronic stress can accelerate ageing and increase inflammation.inflammation n. 炎症This implies an intriguing research question: Do toxic people not only worsen our mental health, but do they maybe also have a very real effect on biological age and accelerate the ageing process due to all the stress they cause?A new study on toxic social ties, accelerated aging, and inflammation(Q1) A new study, just published in the prestigious scientific journal “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America” (or in short: PNAS), was focused on finding out whether toxic people accelerate biological aging (Lee and co-workers, 2026). In the study entitled “Negative social ties as emerging risk factors for accelerated aging, inflammation, and multimorbidity”, (Q2) the research team led by scientist Byungkyu Lee from New York University used an advanced biological method called DNA methylation-based biological aging clocks. This method allowed them to determine the biological age of the volunteers in their study. Overall, data from more than 2,300 volunteers from Indiana were analyzed in the study. For each volunteer, the scientists determined their social networks and whether they had one or more “hasslers” in their social network. “Hasslers” were people who caused the person too much stress and difficulty. Moreover, saliva samples were collected from the volunteers to perform the advanced DNA methylation-based determination of their biological age. Moreover, the volunteers filled out further questionnaires on health and mental health.multimorbidity n. 多病症methylation-based adj. 基于甲基化的hassler n. 困难，麻烦saliva n. 唾液questionnaire n. 问卷；调查表Results of the study: Toxic people accelerate agingOverall, the volunteers identified 8.1 percent of the overall number of people in their social networks as toxic “hasslers.” (Q3) Overall, 28.8 percent of volunteers reported having one or more toxic people in their social networks. 10 percent of volunteers had two or more toxic people in their social network. Women were more likely than men to have at least one toxic person in their social network. Moreover, people who felt like others depended on them a lot were more likely to have toxic people in their network.The analysis showed that each toxic person led to a 1.5 percent faster ageing process. On average, the biological age of volunteers with toxic people in their social networks was 9 months higher than that of people of the same birth age without toxic friends or family members. (Q4) Interestingly, toxic family members or toxic friends had stronger effects on ageing than toxic spouses. This may be the case because the positive effects of marriage, such as reduced loneliness, may buffer some of the negative effects of toxic social contacts. Last but not least, having a toxic person in the social network also affected multiple further biological parameters beyond biological ageing, such as inflammation levels.buffer v. 减缓，减少Take-Away: Stay away from toxic peopleThe study clearly showed that toxic friends or family members have very real biological effects. They not only cause reduced mental well-being and frustration but also accelerate ageing and increase inflammation in the body. (Q5) This suggests that for healthy ageing and general well-being, reducing contact with toxic people is highly important.Part III. KEYQ1. D.【解析】细节题。题目出处为：“A new study, just published in the prestigious scientific journal ‘Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America’ (or in short: PNAS).”。 该句明确指出了期刊名称，即著名的科学杂志《美国国家科学院院刊》（简称PNAS），因此，正确答案为D。Q2.

双语阅读 | 大学生能忍住一个多小时不碰手机吗？

大学生能忍住一个多小时不碰手机吗？Can College Students Stand to Ditch Their Phones for an Hour or So? 文本难度：考研Nearly every student clutches a phone in one hand as they traverse the University of Central Florida campus, even while walking in groups. Laptops and tablets are lunchtime companions, and earbuds and headphones are routine accessories. While waiting for class to start, many students sit in silence, drawn into their devices. 在中佛罗里达大学的校园里，几乎每个学生手里都紧紧攥着一部手机，哪怕是一群人结伴而行也是如此。笔记本电脑和平板成了午餐时间的标配，耳机和耳塞更是日常必备。在课前等待的间隙，许多学生也是安静坐着，全身心沉浸在自己的电子设备中。It is a familiar and exasperating scene for Seán Killingsworth, 22, a former U. C. F. Student. “What is this life I’m signing up for?” he asked himself during his sophomore year. “It was just like, I’m talking to a bunch of zombies.” 对于22岁、曾在中佛罗里达大学上过学的肖恩·基林斯沃思（Seán Killingsworth）来说，这是一幕既熟悉又令人无奈的场景。“我来读大学就是为了过这种生活吗？”他在大二时曾这样问自己，“感觉我就像在跟一群行尸走肉说话。”Mr. Killingsworth craved a space where he could chat with his peers without feeling as though he was intruding. When he was in high school, he ran into similar conundrums, so he would organize phone-free hangouts with friends. Why not in college too? 基林斯沃思渴望能有这样一个空间，能让他可以和同龄人畅聊，而不会觉得自己在打扰别人。上高中时，他也遇到过类似的难题，所以他会组织朋友们一起进行“无手机聚会”。既然如此，为什么上了大学就不能这么做呢？In 2023, he helped bring the idea of no-phone social time to two different Florida campuses – U. C. F. And Rollins College. He called it the Reconnect Movement: During meetings, everyone was required to hand over their phone and socialize without devices, a concept that has become a big draw for like-minded students. 2023年，他将“无手机社交时间”的理念带到了佛罗里达州的两所高校——中佛罗里达大学和罗林斯学院。他称之为“重连运动（Reconnect Movement）”：在聚会期间，每个人都必须上交手机，在没有电子设备干扰的情况下进行交流。这一理念对许多志同道合的学生产生了巨大吸引力。Reconnect’s popularity dovetails with a cultural shift in how smartphones and social media are perceived by adults and adolescents alike. Experts have sounded the alarm about the potential mental health dangers of digital media, even though it’s hard to prove a causal connection between this technology and the rising rates of loneliness, anxiety and depression in young people. “重连运动”的流行，恰与成年人和青少年对智能手机及社交媒体的看法发生文化性转变的现象相呼应。尽管目前很难证明数字媒体与年轻人中日益加剧的孤独、焦虑和抑郁发生率之间存在直接的因果关系，专家们还是就其可能带来的心理健康隐患敲响了警钟。Campaigns to reduce or delay smartphone use like “Wait Until 8th” and books like Jonathan Haidt’s best-selling “The Anxious Generation” have struck a deep chord, particularly with parents. 诸如“等到八年级再用手机（Wait Until 8th）”这类旨在减少或推迟使用智能手机的倡议，以及乔纳森·海特（Jonathan Haidt）的畅销书《焦虑的一代》（The Anxious Generation）等书籍，都深深触动了公众，尤其是家长群体。Student-led movements have often encouraged phone abstinence, but Mr. Killingsworth’s Reconnect Movement doesn’t push students to change their relationship with technology. Instead, it aims to create what he called “human connection habitats” that eliminate the need for willpower. 以往由学生发起的运动往往鼓励大家戒掉手机，但基林斯沃思的“重连运动”并没有强迫学生去改变自身与科技的关系。相反，它的目标是打造他所说的“人类联结栖息地”，让人们不再需要依靠意志力来抵抗手机的诱惑。The idea isn’t particularly novel, Mr. Killingsworth said, but novel isn’t what his generation needs. “Gen Z needs a normal that we’ve never experienced,” he said. 基林斯沃思表示，这个想法其实并不新奇，但他这一代人需要的本就不是新奇，“Z世代需要的是一种我们从未体验过的‘正常生活’。”On a recent sticky afternoon nearly 40 students gathered at the U. C. F. Campus arboretum for the first Reconnect meeting of the fall semester. After surrendering their devices to a “phone valet,” they sat cross-legged on patchwork blankets and prepared to spend one hour without screens. 最近，在一个闷热潮湿的下午，近40名学生聚集在中佛罗里达大学校园的树木园，举行秋季学期的第一次“重连”聚会。在将设备交给“手机代管员”后，他们盘腿坐在拼布毯子上，准备共同度过一个小时没有电子屏幕的时光。As a CD player belted out reggae music from the band Stick Figure, many of the students began to make eye contact and small talk. You would be forgiven for thinking you had been transported back 20 years. 当CD机播放起 Stick Figure 乐队的雷鬼音乐，许多学生开始看向彼此并闲聊起来。这一幕，难免让人恍惚，以为自己穿越回了二十年前。【词汇】1. traverse v. 横穿；走过2. exasperating adj.使人沮丧的3. sophomore n. （高中或大学的）二年级学生4. zombie n. 僵尸；行尸走肉般的人5. conundrum n. 难题6. dovetail v. 完美契合7. causal adj.有因果关系的8. abstinence n.戒除9.

What does the author say about the DSM-5 and social media addiction?A. It has classified SMA as a distinct mental disorder.B. It does not recognize SMA as a distinct mental disorder.C. It suggests that SMA should be treated with medication.D. It proves that SMA is a form of behavioral addiction.Q2. According to the passage, which personality trait may be a risk factor for compulsive social media behavior? A. Extroversion.B. Agreeableness.C. Neuroticism.D. Conscientiousness.Q3. What can be inferred from the passage about the future of social media addiction research?A. It may lead to legal regulations similar to those for gambling.B. It has already provided clear answers to all related questions.C. It proves that personality is the only cause of social media addiction.D. It shows that social media addiction is less serious than drug addiction.Q4. What question does the author raise regarding children and social media?A. Whether children should be banned from using social media.B. Whether social media should be legislated like tobacco and alcohol.C. Whether children should be guided on what to view on social media.D. Whether social media platforms should be redesigned for children.Q5. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To argue that social media should be banned for users.B. To describe a court case about social media addiction.C. To prove that social media addiction is a mental disorder.D. To explore the pull of social media and related concerns.Part II. TRANSCRIPTWhat Science Can Teach Us About the Pull of Social MediaYou have probably heard of the social-media addiction trial that recently took place in Los Angeles. A young woman took Meta and YouTube to court, accusing them of making her addicted to social media — and she won.This was an interesting court case, and one that raises many questions — questions that there are currently no clear answers to, but that people ought to think about, especially as they are likely to pop up in many upcoming debates.Social media is extensively used.As many as one in every three people use social media, and in the USA, people are reportedly spending around 6 hours a day on it. In 2025, Facebook was the most popular social media platform with over 3 billion users, closely followed by WhatsApp and Instagram, which both had about 3 billion users. Approximately 60% of the global population use some kind of social media, if not multiple platforms. With such extensive use, it is not strange that social media addiction (SMA) has become a focal point for many researchers.focal adj. 中心的；重要的Is social media addictive? (Q1) It is worth noting that the DSM-5 (the diagnostic tool for psychologists) does not recognize SMA as a distinct mental disorder; it is often discussed as a condition that requires more research. Thus, the conversations around SMA are not necessarily straightforward.DSM-5 《精神障碍诊断与统计手册》第五版diagnostic adj. 诊断的；用于判断的Within the research literature, SMA has been described as a specific form of digital technology addiction. It refers to the excessive and compulsive use of social media platforms, which can lead to detrimental life consequences. SMA shares components with behavioral disorders like gambling, including salience, mood modification, tolerance, withdrawal, conflict, and relapse.compulsive adj. 强迫性的；难以自控的salience n. 显著性relapse n. 复发；重新陷入（不良状态）(Q2) In a study reviewing over 30,000 participants’ scores on media addiction and personality, it was found that neuroticism can be a risk factor for compulsive social media behavior. Even though the relationship was not very strong, it perhaps indicates that some people may be more likely to become addicted. There are other personality characteristics associated with increased likelihood of compulsion, such as narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. But it needs to be mentioned that there may be external factors that contribute to the link between excessive social media use and personality. It is even possible that SMA may vary depending on the platform that individuals use.compulsion n. 强迫（行为）；难以抗拒的冲动narcissism n. 自恋；自我中心Machiavellianism n. 权谋主义psychopathy n. 精神病态Should social media be legislated?To what extent social media ought to be controlled by law is a difficult question to address. Just as with debates around tobacco, alcohol, and gambling, there are bound to be varied opinions. (Q3) As more researchers appear to agree that SMA may be a genuine addictive disorder, then presumably, as with other substances, it should be managed to reduce potential risks. (Q4) The cognitive complexity involved in deciding what to view online is also one that should be carefully debated when it comes to children. In most societies, children are guided as to what they can watch in the cinema or on television. It is difficult to see why social media ought to be any different.Part III. KEYQ1. B.【解析】细节题。题目出处为：“It is worth noting that the DSM-5 (the diagnostic tool for psychologists) does not recognize SMA as a distinct mental disorder; it is often discussed as a condition that requires more research.”。意为：“值得注意的是，《精神障碍诊断与统计手册》第五版（心理学家使用的诊断工具）并不未将社交媒体成瘾视为一种独立的精神障碍；它通常被视为一种需要进一步研究的状况来讨论。”因此，正确答案为B。Q2. C.【解析】细节题。题目出处为：“In a study reviewing over 30,000 participants’ scores on media addiction and personality, it was found that neuroticism can be a risk factor for compulsive social media behavior.” 意为：“一项针对3万余名参与者在媒体成瘾和人格特质方面评分的研究发现，神经质可能是强迫性社交媒体使用行为的一个风险因素。” 该句明确指出神经质是风险因素之一，因此，正确答案为C。Q3. A.【解析】推理题。题目出处为：“As more researchers appear to agree that SMA may be a genuine addictive disorder, then presumably, as with other substances, it should be managed to reduce potential risks.”。意为：“随着越来越多的研究者似乎认同社交媒体成瘾可能是一种真实存在的成瘾性障碍，那么可以推断，就像对待其他成瘾物质一样，也应对其进行管控，以减少潜在风险。”由此可以推断，正确答案为A。Q4. C.【解析】细节题。题目出处为：“The cognitive complexity involved in deciding what to view online is also one that should be carefully debated when it comes to children. In most societies, children are guided as to what they can watch in the cinema or on television. It is difficult to see why social media ought to be any different.” 意为：“在涉及儿童时，对于在线内容选择所涉及的认知复杂性，也应进行审慎的讨论。在大多数社会中，儿童观看影院或电视节目的内容都会受到引导和限制，而社交媒体在这方面显然不应例外。” 该段表明作者认为儿童在社交媒体上的浏览内容也应受到引导，因此正确答案为C。Q5. D.【解析】主旨题。全文围绕社交媒体的吸引力、是否成瘾、以及应如何应对展开探讨，因此主要探讨社交媒体的吸引力及其引发的担忧，正确答案为D。 （本文图片来源于摄图网，版权归摄图网所有)

According to the text, what is one personality trait linked to being unreliable? A. Being overly organized. B. Being less conscientious. C. Being more extroverted. D. Being highly agreeable. Q2. What is one reason technology makes it easier for people to cancel plans? A. It eliminates the need for real-life interaction. B. It provides instant gratification through social media. C. It allows people to cancel plans with minimal effort. D. It encourages people to confront their friends directly. Q3. What does the 2017 study suggest about American millennials? A. They are more likely to withdraw from social commitments. B. They prefer face-to-face communication over text messages. C. They are less likely to use social media for cancellations. D. They value real-life interactions more than older generations. Q4. What can be inferred about older generations compared to millennials regarding social commitments? A. They are more likely to use technology to cancel plans. B. They are less likely to withdraw from social arrangements. C. They are equally comfortable with last-minute cancellations. D. They are more likely to overbook themselves socially. Q5. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To explore why people are reluctant to confront their friends. B. To analyze the reasons behind people being unreliable. C. To suggest ways to improve time management skills. D. To compare social habits across different generations. Part II. TRANSCRIPTWhy friends are sometimes unreliable Do you have a friend who happily agrees to your plans, only to disappear when the time eventually comes? Maybe they flake on you and cancel last minute, or just don’t tell you and then ghost you completely. Or just maybe, it’s you that sometimes lets people down. What lies behind this reluctance to keep to engagements?flake v. 爽约，失信 reluctance n. 不情愿，勉强 It could be our personality traits. (Q1) According to psychology professor Richard Koestner, less conscientious or agreeable people tend to have less concern for others and are more likely to overbook themselves socially. While this can be due to bad time management, it can also be because people are afraid of confrontation and saying no to their friends, so end up agreeing to things that they don’t really want to do.trait n. 特性，特点 Technology could be another factor behind people’s willingness to back out of social commitments. Firstly, (Q2) being able to cancel plans with a simple text message or pressing a ‘not attending’ button on an invitation, rather than doing it face-to-face or through an awkward phone call, is a much more frictionless way to say you have changed your mind. On top of this, people have become used to the instant gratification offered by social media and streaming platforms. Does this make real-life interaction seem mundane and arduous by comparison? Could it be generational? (Q3) A 2017 study found that 45% of American millennials saw nothing wrong with withdrawing from social arrangements. (Q4) Older generations were less likely to pull out of events that they had been invited to.mundane adj. 平凡的，乏味的 arduous adj. 艰难的，费力的 Whatever lies behind it, psychologists have advice for us. Kurt Gray from the University of North Carolina recommends a simple phone call to reinforce human connection. Andrea Bonior from Georgetown University tells us to gently let our friends know that being let down disrupts us and makes us feel less valued. Caution is important though. Life coach Kira Asatryan reminds us that sometime people withdraw, not out of disrespect, but because they themselves feel anxious, stressed or sad.disrespect n. 不尊重，轻视 Part III. KEYQ1. B.【解析】细节题。根据“According to psychology professor Richard Koestner, less conscientious or agreeable people tend to have less concern for others and are more likely to overbook themselves socially.”，可知缺乏责任心或不太随和的人往往不太关心他人，更可能在社交上安排过度，更容易失信。正确答案为B。 Q2. C.【解析】细节题。根据“Being able to cancel plans with a simple text message or pressing a ‘not attending’ button on an invitation, rather than doing it face-to-face or through an awkward phone call, is a much more frictionless way to say you have changed your mind.”，可知科技发展使得通过简单的短信或点击按钮就能取消计划，无需当面沟通或通过尴尬的电话，也就是说花费极少精力就能取消计划。正确答案为C。 Q3. A.【解析】细节题。根据“A 2017 study found that 45% of American millennials saw nothing wrong with withdrawing from social arrangements.”，可知2017年的研究发现，45%的美国千禧一代认为退出社交安排并无不妥，说明他们更容易反悔爽约。正确答案为A。 Q4. B.【解析】推理题。根据“Older generations were less likely to pull out of events that they had been invited to.”，可知老一辈人不太可能退出他们被邀请的活动，从中可以推断，老一辈人相比千禧一代更少取消已定的社交活动，因此正确答案为B。 Q5. B.【解析】主旨题。根据全文，文章主要讨论了人们有时不可靠的原因，包括性格特质、科技和代际差异的影响，因此正确答案为B。 （本文图片来源于摄图网，版权归摄图网所有)

TRANSCRIPTThe Sudden Death of a Man Who Told Chinese Kids How to SucceedAny Chinese parent or student fixated on education — so, basically, most Chinese parents and students — knew the name Zhang Xuefeng. (Q1) As China’s most famous education influencer, Mr. Zhang was known for dispensing ruthlessly blunt advice about how to maximize a student’s chances at success.fixate v. 专注于；对……过分执著(Q2) The liberal arts? Only good for service jobs, he declared. Finance? Don’t bother unless your family has connections. Fast-talking and sharp-tongued, to his detractors, he was cynical and utilitarian. But to his tens of millions of fans, he embodied a rare willingness to acknowledge the harsh realities facing less privileged students, especially in the face of steep inequality and a slowing economy.detractor n. 贬低者；诋毁者utilitarian adj. 功利的；实用主义的So when Mr. Zhang suddenly died on Tuesday at age 41, of cardiac arrest, it prompted an outpouring — not only of shock, but also of reflection.cardiac adj. 心脏的；心脏病的outpouring n. （情感的）涌出，迸发(Q3) On social media, people asked: Had he steered young Chinese to better lives or discouraged their idealism? (5) What did his abrupt death, after he had long complained of being exhausted and overworked, say about China’s hypercompetitive work culture? And if life was so unpredictable, did planning so carefully for success that seemed increasingly out of reach even matter?hypercompetitive adj. 高度竞争的；竞争异常激烈的“Zhang Xuefeng’s lesson to lost young people: Enjoy your life,” was one of the top hashtags on Chinese social media on Wednesday, where news of Mr. Zhang’s death dominated discussion. “Excessive self-discipline” was another, a response to state media reports that Mr. Zhang had collapsed after going for a run in Suzhou, the city in eastern China where he lived.Another popular education influencer, Zhu Wei, posted a long tribute online, praising Mr. Zhang’s vigor and sincerity. Mr. Zhu urged his own students to slow down in their pursuit of test scores and jobs.“But I also know, what’s the cruelest thing about the age of internet traffic? It’s that nothing lasts even a month before it’s forgotten,” Mr. Zhu wrote. “Everyone will soon go back to their usual state, endlessly striving and slogging, never able to stop.”slog v. 埋头苦干；坚持不懈地努力Mr. Zhang was born in a small town in northern China. His real name was Zhang Zibiao, though he later adopted the name Xuefeng. He tested into a middling university, where he studied water supply and drainage, for which he had little enthusiasm, according to interviews he gave. After graduation, he turned to tutoring and college counseling.He shot to fame in 2016, for a video in which he — in what would become his signature rapid-fire, snark-infused patter — summarized China’s top 34 universities in seven minutes. He started a consulting company where he helped students choose majors, internships, and careers based on cold-eyed considerations of their test scores, family backgrounds, and whether they prioritized money or stability. His livestreams attracted hundreds of thousands of views, and his courses could cost thousands of dollars.patter n. 顺口溜；（饶舌的）念叨internship n. 实习；实习期His celebrity came as much from his advice as his willingness to provoke. A comment in 2023 that parents should knock their children unconscious rather than let them study journalism, because of the weak job prospects, set off days of online debate. Critics said he misunderstood the point of education or was suggesting that poorer students shouldn’t follow their dreams.“I come from an ordinary family,” Mr. Zhang wrote in response. (Q4) “If you come from a wealthy family, you have more choices, you can’t choose wrongly. But most families aren’t that well-off, and when choosing a major, you have to choose one that’s suitable and will put food on the table.”Part III. KEYQ1. B.【解析】细节题。题目出处为：“As China’s most famous education influencer, Mr. Zhang was known for dispensing ruthlessly blunt advice about how to maximize a student’s chances at success.”。意为：“作为中国最著名的教育类网红，张雪峰以提供直截了当的建议而闻名，这些建议聚焦于如何最大限度地提升学生未来成功的几率。”因此正确答案为B。Q2. C.【解析】细节题。题目出处为：“The liberal arts? Only good for service jobs, he declared. Finance? Don’t bother unless your family has connections.”。意为：“人文学科？他宣称只适合服务业。金融？除非家里有关系，否则别费劲了。”该句明确指出张雪峰认为人文学科主要通向服务类工作，而金融行业需要家庭人脉，因此正确答案为C。Q3. A.【解析】细节题。题目出处为：“On social media, people asked: Had he steered young Chinese to better lives or discouraged their idealism?”。 意为：“在社交媒体上，人们纷纷发问：他究竟是引导了中国年轻人走向更好的生活，还是打击了他们的理想主义？”因此正确答案为A。Q4. B.【解析】推理题。题目出处为：“If you come from a wealthy family, you have more choices, you can’t choose wrongly. But most families aren’t that well-off, and when choosing a major, you have to choose one that’s suitable and will put food on the table.”。意为：“如果你来自富裕家庭，你有更多选择，你不会选错。但大多数家庭并不那么富裕，在选择专业时，你必须选择一个合适的、能养家糊口的专业。”该句明确指出张雪峰认为普通家庭的学生应该选择实际且能维持生计的专业，因此正确答案为B。Q5. D.【解析】主旨题。文章的核心内容是张雪峰的突然离世引发了人们对其各种教育建议以及中国高度竞争性的工作文化的反思，因此正确答案为D。（本文图片来源于摄图网，版权归摄图网所有)

第12届教学大赛商务英语组特等奖潘紫萌授课

授课点评：潘紫萌老师在本次大赛中与来自全国各地的商务英语优秀教师展开激烈角逐，在教学理念、教学方法、课堂设计、英语素质、商务知识、教姿教态、师生互动等方面的表现都较突出，最后以总分第一荣获特等奖。潘老师以准确的英语发音先声夺人，丰富的表达方式、适中的语调语速和端庄的教姿教态也令人印象深刻。在课程设计环节，为实现其教学目标，她选择business ethics作为主题，介绍了教学目标、学生特征、以学生为中心和以产出为导向的教学理念，以及线上线下结合、传统和高科技媒体结合等丰富多彩的教学方式。这份介绍全面立体但简明扼要，为后面的演示（demo）课提供了一个很好的支撑。由于大赛的授课时间有限，潘老师突出重点，在演示课上只展示教学方案的第三步，即participatory learning 1 和 post assessment 1。她采用BOPPPS（bridge in, objectives, pre-assessment, participatory learning, post assessment, summary）模型，通过德国大众汽车减排作假、中国支付宝公益植树项目等案例，教学目标涵盖商务英语知识、技能、以及相关的伦理和价值观等。在短短的十几分钟里要达到这么多项教学目标绝非易事。潘老师通过一系列的短视频、多种教学方法（如听力填空、案例讨论、汉译英、样本对话补正等）以及活泼的师生互动，较好地实现了教学目标，显示出选手突出的课堂组织能力。商务英语教学起源于英美等国，因此基本使用本国素材、讲本国故事。传入中国后，主要使用外国素材、讲外国故事。令人欣喜的是，潘老师注意突出中国特色，多次引用中国案例，讲授中国故事，传播中国价值观。加上她出色的英语基本功和良好的师生互动，使得教学过程十分流畅，也没有不同文化同场展示的违和感。总而言之，潘紫萌老师在授课环节的各方面表现都很优秀。不足之处当然也有。首先， 8’13’’开始的讨论过于仓促，只有18秒， 8’31’’就结束了。由于讨论不充分，在随后的问答环节中，更多的回答似乎来自老师而不是学生。第二个是要增加教学过程的自然自发 (spontaneity)。不知是因为课前多次排练还是老师特意要求，学生的产出只有一次对话（17’40’’）相对自然，其他的多次回答虽准确无误，但都像中国小学生朗读课文或回答问题，语音、语调、语速都过于整齐合一，这不利于培养学生的英语实际表达能力。点评专家：陈准民
